Stomach unhappy again.
Don't know why.
I wanna talk about obsession but don't feel good.
I will get to it tomorrow maybe.
I do want to say that at one point in my life, I had an unhealthy, but started as an innocent crush, on a bass player for a band in the 80's.
It became something else and I had to know things, had to have things.
What is your obsession?
I have been watching your show off and on since about 1979 or so. My grandmother used to watch the show and I would watch with her.
I have stuck by you faithfully for many years even in some of the most lamest plot lines.
But I will be leaving you now.
I simply cannot sit here and watch this drivel any longer.
Marlena has been in love/married/divorced possibly more times than Susan Luccis Erica Kane character.
She has been possessed by demons and all kinds of crap and now, now she is a serial killer and a really shitty one at that. Or maybe everyone else in town is as dumb as a box of rocks.
Or maybe you think your viewers are.
You are killing off all of the good people. The staples of the show.
The people who made your show what it is and have been good, strong characters.
You chose not to renew contracts and kill everyone off.
You are leaving us with the boring, bland acting skills of Hope who has been killed, raped, married, divorced, evil twinned to death and is so fucking over the top, I want to put my fist through the screen and beat her head against the pavement. Belle is so goody goody and dumb, that I want to hurt her. Her character is how old and she acts like that? Puhlease!
Please kill off John. He was never sexy. He was never good looking. He was just icky and reminded me of a porno star with his big sloppy, overdone kisses. Eww.
Actually, I don't care what you do with John or any of the crappy actors/actresses you have on there now.
I'm serious, I'm leaving you.
You have ruined the once great show of DOOL.
It's cheesy, campy, crappy, shitty and you must think that the fans are going to stick around forever.
No, sorry, we are dropping off faster than Dr. Marlena could kill Tony Dimera.
We have had it with bad plot lines and the amount of screen time you give Deidre Hall.
You brought Jack back and then killed him.
What the hell were you thinking?
You certainly weren't thinking about your viewers.
I'm finished.
Sincerely,
Victor Kiriakis's biggest fan.
Yeah, you killed him too you, you Bastards!
Sesame Street is 35 years old.
It's hard to believe isn't it?
That show has been around since I was born and I find it just amazing that it keeps going and going when so many other children's shows disappear over time.
I loved Sesame Street. I still do.
Whenever I have babysat for friends with small kids or heck, even some days when there is nothing but crap on, I'll tune in to Sesame Street and just remember all the fun and magic of being a kid.
It's just such a wonderful show. Bright colors, catchy songs that actually teach something rather than just be annoying (Miss Mary Mack, if I never hear that song again it will be too soon) and get kids excited and learning.
Sebastian knew how to read the words pull and a few others thanks to that show.
When he entered kindergarten, he saw the words pull and did just that.
To the fire alarm and was suspended for 3 days because he caused a panic.
I understand the thinking of that but they put the alarms at eye level to 5 year olds in the kindergarten classrooms and while the other kids said dog, cat, spot, Sebastian was reading and doing and got himself suspended and it's all thanks to Sesame Street.
Just kidding, it's not the shows fault.
I actually found the whole thing funny and he and I spent 3 glorious days at home watching movies and the street.
My boss at the time laughed her ass off over suspending a 5 year old and told me to just take the days. I had 2 days off that week anyway, she just gave me another one. Not a big loss.
All the spanish I know, I learned from Sesame Street. Uno, dos, trés,cuatro,cinco,séis...
Now, where I live, I should really know more.
For instance, just this morning at the still sleeping in because we are on spring break hour of 7am, someone who spoke spanish called my house.
Mumbled off something in espanol and I asked him if he spoke english. He mumbled something again. I asked again. Do you speak english?
He said no, the first word I understood. So I said, no speak english, no can help you. Click.
Sure, maybe it's a little mean but uh, dude, how you gonna get a job no speaka no english?
Oh, wait, you probably have a job not speaking english because the places can pay you minimum wage and you won't argue about it will ya?
For all I know, he needed to call a doctor or some shit.
But really, I can't help him if he doesn't speak the language I speak.
My kids might have been able to help him cuz learning spanish is mandatory here due to the massive explosion of hispanics here but I wasn't about to wake them up to do that.
The longer they sleep in, the less time they will have today to get angry at each other, tell me how bored they are even though they have a N64 and a PS2 and movies and board games and a pool right up the street.
No, no, I let them sleep and then I think I will find some more work for them to do around here.
Idle hands are the devils playground.
Idle hands tend to annoy brothers with a flick to the ear and then a run away and then a charlie horse to the thigh and then it's an all out war.
No thanks.
Sleep little angels.
Get rested so you can work later.
Wait, what the hell was I talking about?
Oh yeah, Sesame Street.
On April 4th, that's this sunday, check your local PBS listings for the 35th anniversary special.
Cheesy like Sunday morning.
I like this song and it makes me smile and sing and if I could get up and dance, I would so I'll just do the ass chair dance.
Paradise by the dashboard light.
Don't be a dick. Always right click.
Well, this kind of sucks.
I just got 2 FREE tickets to go see Connie and Carla on Tuesday April 6th at 1pm in Tampa and have no fucking way to get there.
Anyone in the Tampa/Sarasota/Bradenton area wanna pick me up and go for FREE???
Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely--
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go allt he way
An tonight's the night...
Radio Broadcast:
Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!
II. Let Me Sleep On It
Girl:
Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further--!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
Do you love me!?
Will you love me forever!?
Do you need me!?
Will you never leave me!?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life!?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!?
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me!!!?
Will you love me forever!!!?
Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Girl:
I gotta know right now!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
And will you love me forever?
Boy:

And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it!!!
Girl:
Will you love me forever?
Boy:
Let me sleep on it!!!
Girl:
Will you love me forever!!!
III. Praying for the End of Time
Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!
Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today
Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife
It is truly amazing how much crap a single closet can accumulate in a years time.
I have many things to get rid of.
I am going to try and have a yard sale this weekend and whatever doesn't sell, it goes to the curb.
I just have too much shit that no one wears, uses or whatever.
I am too pooped to pop now.
Later days.
Tired and pained.
Not much going on so not much to say.
It's spring break so I have things to do and kids to kill occupy.
Later days.
No, wait, I do have a question.
How come all the blog spammers attack at night? It doesn't seem to matter what time zone you are in, they seem to know that whoever you are, wherever you are, that you will be sleeping at such and such a time.
Only 1 got through last night, ip is 200.80.216.57 (ban that) but how come it's only at night?
Jenni posted the Cartman version of Sail Away. Go get it...lol
I posted the Styx version this morning and now you can choose between the two.
Later.
A few of their friends came by and I sent them off to have some fun.
They worked hard today.
They went through all their clothes, cleaned the driveway out, and the trimmed the hedges in the side yard.
They are good boys who help as much as they can for being as young as they are.
I added a couple new pictures to the photoblog of them doing the hedges.
They look so happy.
Not.
Later days.
The boys are on spring break and we are slowly cleaning stuff up.
We went through Sebastian's dresser this morning and got rid of so many clothes that are too small or were just junk and tossed them.
We gave the good but too small clothes to his little friend Ryan.
We are taking a break right now and then we are gonna hit my closet.
I don't even honestly know where to begin in there.
Ugh.
Hope everyone is having a good monday.
Later days.
What do I mean?
It's Monday first of all so that means that I am going to post an mp3.
I am in a playful mood this monday morning so be prepared to send me hate mail for todays tune.
And the stars, well, this was my horriblescope for today.
You're the mysterious stranger. You're also everybody's friend, even if he or she never saw your face before today. You have the power to break hearts or remake lives. Even when you're just playing it by ear, you look as if you're following an intricate score. Start out on a long walk to nowhere, and soon you'll find a special destination. Your imagination is also your true vision. You surprise people by reflecting their own unique colors back at them. How do you do that, anyway? If you knew the answer, you'd be happy to explain.
I love these scopes. Yes I do. So bizarre and accurate and funny.
I have found myself being something to a few people lately and I can't get all descriptive because that is the nature of being something to someone.
It's only for that someone. But it just fits. It's like an old glove that was tossed in a closet and just found and amazingly, it still fits.
And now for todays tune.
I figured I would stick something in your head that you will not admit to liking and that it makes you smile. You will grumble and groan and curse me for putting it in your head. But you know you like it.
Just admit it.
It's ok.
It's your living room.
Get up and dance and sing.
It's cool.
Come Sail Away. Gone gone gone.
Don't be a dick, always right click.
But yeah, let the hate mail begin!!!
Muwhahahaha!
That was me doing that thing with my lips that makes that noise.
You know what noise I mean.
You know what thing I mean.
Don't act like you don't.
I am so bored, that if it were possible to slip into a coma from being bored, that I would be in one.
That is all.
In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.
Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you.
He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!

What are you having?
You can now choose between Keanu, Madchen or the newest skin, Aragorn from Lord of the Rings.
It looks awesome.
Thanks Jenni!
and it looks pretty good in the big room.
Yes, that is a blanket over the window. That is the west side of the house so in the afternoons, the sun is blazing through those windows and it makes it incredibly hot so I covered them with a huge blanket. I do it every summer as it saves on cooling costs. That room used to be a porch until it was closed in.
This is Mark playing the PS2. The camera takes better pictures in natural light as you can see.
And this is my messy living room.
You can see my ultra cluttered desk area and my foot stool. It helps my back to have my feet propped up that high.
I think it's time for a nap now. I am bored to death around here today.
Later
The kids are cleaning their room so my sister can drop off her old pc desk for them.
We are slowly getting the house reorganized so that when ex-roommate comes back, she can have her room again.
What's that?
I didn't tell you ex-roommate is coming back?
Well she is.
Seattle, her home state, is not working out quite the way she hoped it was going to so she will be moving back here by at the latest, September.
They are cleaning their room and then when the desk gets here, we will move their pc in there.
They just use it to play games and Mark does some homework on it.
They have Adobe photoshop on it and so they do art and stuff.
All their kid games are on it and now they will have a nice desk.
They have been using and end table which was kind of low.
Anyway, that's about it from here.
I'm still wicked tired.
Later days..
It is amazing what pepto and a long nap will do for you.
I don't want to eat anything but at least my stomach isn't dancing the jig anymore. *knock on wood*
I feel weak and stuff.
Thanks for all the thoughts and well wishes.
I'm sure I'll be fine.
Just need to keep resting and drinking fluids and stuff.
I am just so bored I can't even tell you.
The kids are officially on spring break and they are driving me nuts already.
If I felt better, I'd set them to work on stuff around the house to do for spring cleaning.
Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush Starter Kit
Free can of Fancy Feast cat food
Only 2 but they are good ones. If I find more, I'll post 'em here.
Another one.
Olay samples
I am sick.
I think I caught some sort of virus from some person on the bus.
I have been up all night sick sick sick.
I know it must have been from the bus because everything I ate, was at home and it was the same thing the kids ate and they are not sick.
I wanna die now.
Deleted because it was just a bitch fest.
Sorry about that.
I just had a rough day and let my emotions get all funky on anyone I came into contact with.
Pictures are still in the extended entry because I like them.
Another bright sunny day in FLA.
View from the bus.
I had to take the bus into crackville because that is the only bus that goes to the gov offices.
Lovely pink and blue low income housing with lots of trash everywhere.
A man got on the bus and proceeded to role a big fatty.
After my appointment, I had to sit on the guardrail of highway 301 for almost an hour while waiting for the bus.
Lovely view eh?
This bus goes out to the airport. So I rode it and just looked out at stuff.
The sky was simply beautiful.
It's season here. That means we have tourists from all over hells half acre here clogging up the streets and not knowing where to go. In off season, highway 41 is clear sailing. Look at this shit. Don't these people have homes?
Anyway the wind blows.
Then I get home and Mark and I had to rearrange shit because of the cat incident the other night. It was crooked and cloggy. This is the 2 old vcrs that I set up to do tape to tape recording and the kids playstation, tv and air conditioner.
Then we have the pc mess on the other side of it. There were so many wires and Mark was pretty funny. How do you know what they all do? I just do now be quiet because they all do a certain thing and if you keep yabbering, the playstation isn't going to be set up right.
And this is Nova. View from the kitchen.
everyone know I am alive.
Had a very long day, perhaps even got a sunburn.
I will be back later.
I am in pain and have a few things that I need to do around here.
It totally figures.
The day I have to get up early with Mark and have an appointment to go to, I slept like absolute shit.
I will answer emails and stuff later in the day.
Grr. I need to wake up.
Jenni skinned me today even with a raging migraine.
We chose the beautiful Madchen Amick.
You can choose her or the luscious Keanu from the sidebar over there --->.
It's very pretty.
Thanks girl.
AND! It works in webtv too!
Woot!
More specifically, why do I have pets?
First Nova with a whiz whiz here and now Christine with a shit or 20 behind the tv.
I never even smelled it until tonight.
Then, I made Sebastian go look back there because the tv is on a stand set kitty corner and he is the only one who can fit back there.
He says, I need a a bag.
He gets a bag and some paper towels and comes out with a plastic bag full of cat shit.
WTF? is with the animals who live here???
I swear, I am going to go postal on a few living beings of the feline persuasion.
So what did we just do?
We moved the giant ass old floor model tv on a stand up flat against the wall and now I can't see it from my pc.
Yes this blows.
I mean I can sort of see it. Like a sliver of the screen.
I am pissed.
But Mark, is strong.
Here's a kid who won't fight back because he's afraid to get hurt and he walked that tv back and forth about 5 feet and then pushed it flat up against the wall.
What did I do?
I made sure the tv didn't fall on him.
I held it as he walked it.
I'm not happy with it's position.
So I'm thinking over spring break that we move the living room around seeing as he seems to be able to lift, push and pull and I can't.
Heh.
I'll be supervisor.
all afternoon.
I had a normal headache this morning and now it is a full blown migraine.
Grr.
Someone shoot me and put me out of my misery.
My 68 year old mailman thanks you for packing a box lightly. :)
Just kidding, but we both damn near fell over trying to get the boxes in the house.
She sent a note;
Kathy, I could not fit anymore stuff into these two boxes. ( I would hope not, my mailman is going to need a chiropractor ) Wish it could be a lot more. ( Our teeth would rot if you sent more. Oh, wait, that's what the toothbrushes are for.)
The cabury eggs, hair clips and laser pointer are for you. ( Oh, I see who's more important here. The kids get all the rest of this stuff?)
Hope Mark and Sebastian like their photo albums. ( They love goofy pictures of themselves as babies) We are doing ok. Hope things go better for you soon. ( Me too mom) Give our love to the boys. Love to you as well,
Enjoy,
Mom and dad.
This is a lot of stuff. Shirts and toothbrushes and boatload of candy. Homemade peanut better eggs, chocolate, more chocolate and even more chocolate.
Socks, Cd's from my dad, photo albums.
That's all the stuff that fell out of the little easter baggies.
That's my sisters box that she has to pick up later. We don't want her peanut butter eggs to melt sitting outside her house all day.
We love you too.
Thanks so much!
P.S. There goes my diet on those peanut butter eggs.
*sigh*
But easter and the eggs only come once a year.
It was stupid, time consuming and boring as hell.
I have to go down there tomorrow which totally sucks because it is 3 buses away.
I hate that.
Half my damn day on a bus.
Oh well right?
I'm kind of cranky right now so I'm gonna step off for a bit and come back to visit everyone when I feel more human.
Words are fine, but they say only so much. Talking barely scratches the surface. Let the stars usher you to a place of greater depth and meaning. This is where intuition runs in a straight line, piercing the heart of circular logic. Make your feelings known in a climate where broad sweeps of emotion are permitted and even encouraged. The right people recognize where you're coming from, although they might not be occupying the same zone. They know what you mean and who you are when your smile is your signature and your eyes are the windows to your soul.
My girl Shandi didn't win but man, Americas Next top Model picked a great girl in Yoanna.
I liked her above Mercedes definitley.
Yes.
I am a geek.
And, I ate cheese puffs while watching a bunch of skinny bitches strut their bony asses all over the place.
This is a screen shot of some search queries.
Warning, some of it is a little vulgar.
But I find it all amusing.
I mean, they get here, and it's just a little ol' blog.
No hot mom, no sex, no porn.
And yeah, I keep saying the words that bring them here.
It's funny because they have to waste time to keep looking for that shit.
har har har.
Sorry. It's amusing me.

That's Nova, the stubby tailed lucky to be alive kitty. It is his kitty. She is doing very well. The tail has healed and is growing fur again.
We did have to help it heal by removing the dead skin that was just flapping around all gross but once we did that, it healed up pronto.
She is still being a good kitty and hasn't peed anywhere but the box since.
For today, March 23,
Variation is your strong suit. You know your stuff so well that an extemporaneous rant sounds rehearsed. Anything that helps your reputation has to be good.
Bwhahahaha *snort*
I'm not saying anything at all.
He looked nice.
I just wondered what was up.
Sebastian has a field trip to of all places, the courthouse today.
I know lots of kids have never seen a judge in action and it will be a great learning experience but Sebastian already knows the ins and outs of how a case goes.
He could probably tell the teacher a few things about making a statement, doing a deposition, being sworn in, testifying and how long the actual process takes.
What are they going for there today?
Just what cases will they be witness to?
Juvenile criminals.
That means the JV justice guy won't be in his office today for me to call. I'll leave him a message and hopefully he can tell me what is up with the teen.
I'm going to try and call the DA who handled our case as well and see what, if any, preventive measures we can take to insure Sebastians safety now that asshole is out.
I am going to beat Kali within inches of her life.
Not really but she is pissing me off.
Pet me pet me pet me!
All damn day.
I have to lock the bathroom door now because she has figured out how to open it and then proceed to lay down between my feet while I pee.
Fun.
Not.
She follows me around and mews if I look at her.
'Why aren't you petting me? Hello? I know you see me down here rubbing up against your legs and causing you to trip. Hello?'
She sits directly under my chair so when I drop my legs down from the foot stool, there she is and I almost fall trying to stand up.
I try to take a shower and there she is pawing at the curtain.
I try to cook, do dishes, clean something, anything, and there she is.
'Hello! Hey! Lady! Pet Meeeeeeeeeeeee!'
She tripped me coming out of the bathroom just now and now I have a broken middle finger nail.
I banged it on the wall trying not to fall.
These are my frigging nails.
Mine!
I grew them.
All the rest of my nails are nice and long and perfectly shaped and now, the middle finger of my right hand looks like I'm trying to make a statement.
What that statement is, I don't really know but it looks like I'm trying to be all ready to flip off everyone in a very un-lady like way.
I mean, I do flip people off all the time very un-lady like but now it just looks like I'm planning it.
It's short.
Damn you Kali!!
ex-roommate used to be really freaked out by all the dead people at first, but now, she kind of just ignores them.
They don't bother her so she keeps playing while they walk around the house.
Johnny found himself a new hobby to keep him from straying.
He has found that yard work is very soothing and has great outcomes.
This is part of the backyard that he finished today.
He had some Kiwis from New Zealand flown in. Shhh. Don't tell customs what was in that box.
Jenni came by to see the new exotic pets and loved them.
George who came over with his beautiful wife, also really enjoyed the strange non-flying birds.
Look at the amazing job he has done with the whole property.
Bravo Johnny!
The large green hedges are not only aesthetically pleasing but it keeps the Kiwis from straying all over the property.
After all that hard work that turned out great, ex-roommate gives her man a nice rubdown in the gorgeous garden.
The Clooneys also had some work done by a great landscaping company. Their property is on a hill so they had to make use of the small but decent space for a side garden.
P.S. Tony Pierce rocks.
The Teen™ who threw Sebastian last January and broke his arm, served his almost year.
He was supposed to serve a full year and then be on probation for 3 years.
He is out.
Back living at his moms.
Right around the fucking corner.
We have already had a kid or 2 tell us how pissed off he is at us for making him go to jail.
Excuse me?
Asshole teen, it was not us who put your ass in jail. It was YOU.
He (17) threw my son and broke his arm and Sebastian will be needing surgery later in life to correct the rotation problems from where it was broken.
I swear on my life that if that shithead who is now 18 and a half, touches my son or sons, I will break his fucking arm.
And his leg.
And his face.
Little fuck does not want to come near my property or my kids.
I don't care how well behaved he was in jail and got out early.
His mom is still being a bitch and gives us the look of death whenever she sees us.
The younger brother goes to school with Mark and practically rubbed it in Marks face that his brother was out.
I'll be rubbing faces in the pavement if that shithead touches my kids.
Original entry from 1-13-03 in the extended entry.
1-13-03
I just got home after 32 hours in
the er and hospital.
A 17 year old boy broke Sebastian's arm Sunday afternoon around 4:15.(edited
because I fucked up the time. Everything happened so fast, sorry)
He picked Sebastian up and lifted him over his head and threw him to the
concrete driveway.
He has to go on Wednesday to see an orthopedic pediatric specialist who will
decide whether or not to perform surgery or try to cast it.
On a scale of 1-5, 1 being a fracture and 5 being the bone protruding from his
arm, Sebastian is a 4. He may need to have steel rods placed in there.
The kids, Mark, Sebastian and Johnathan and Brandon were playing in Brandon's
front yard playing tag when Sebastian touched Brandon's older brothers car. He
touched it, not scratched it or dented but touched and the kid flew him like a
ragdoll to the ground.
I have had to get a lawyer to pursue medical expenses. The police took
statements from all the kids and arrested and then released the boy to his
parents because by state law, they can only hold a minor for 6 hours.
Sebastian is home with me in an immobilizer brace until Wednesday where we will
have to go to All Children's Hospital to see the surgeon.
I am going to try and scan his xray so that you can all see what this fucking
prick did to my son.
Later days.
Kat spoke @ 10:07:10pm
Court date entry
5/16/2003
We just got back from court.
The teen was sentenced to 1 year and then on commitment until he is 22.
If he screws up in jail, he will have to stay for 2 years.
When he gets out, if he screws up even once, he will be back in jail until his
22nd birthday.
His entire family got to speak on his behalf and tell the judge how sorry they
are for this terrible accident. Then the teen spoke about how sorry he was for
the accident.
The defense attorney spoke about how we have no reason to fear him and that he
is not a threat to society.
Then the state attorney spoke and she said that it was proven in court before
this very judge that this was not an accident and that the teen was convicted of
1st degree felony child abuse and should be punished as such.
The teen and his family begged the judge not to send him away. His family wept,
his girlfriend wept. It had no affect on the judge at all.
He said apologies were not accepted. It didn’t matter to him if the teen was
sorry or not. He said that the teen still had not accepted responsibility for
his actions that day and that is why he is sending this message.
The judge asked me if I had anything to say and I told him that I did not
believe that the teen was sorry. He had an opportunity that day to apologize
before we left for the ER and before the hospital called the police to have him
arrested. It has been exactly 5 months 1 day since this happened. The only time
that he apologized in this whole time was last Tuesday and I told the judge that
he mouthed those words to me only because he didn’t want to be punished, in my
opinion. I told him that I didn’t believe the teen was sorry nor that the family
is sorry.
The judge after sentencing the teen ordered the entire family to stay away from
my family and everyone in my home including ex-roommate.
The mother has been intentionally going to the store ex-roommate works at and going
through her line to checkout and smirking. 3-4 times in the last week.
A state corrections officer walked us out of the building because his mother was
furious at us.
We then went and ate because the kids were starving, ex-roommate’s treat and then
caught the bus home.Some stinky girl wearing way too much vanilla perfume got on
and we all nearly died. I had to open the windows because I couldn’t breathe.
Some smart mouthed teen told her to spritz not bathe in it…lolWe stopped at
Pete’s store on the way home for some water and a soda because it was so hot out
today.
We got home and in my mailbox were the movies I won yesterday. How cool!
It is Spirited Away, The castle in the sky and Kikis delivery service.
The kids are watching Spirited away right now.
It has been a long day and this is almost over.
We just have to go to the restitution hearing now. The judge ordered that the
parents are financially responsible because the teen is now incarcerated. They
have to pay all the medical bills that we have already and ongoing and pain and
suffering.
I am grateful to state attorney Karen F. and Mr. R., the Juvenile justice guy
and Judge M.
I will catch up with everyone else in a little while. Right now, I need to
change (hot and sweaty) and take my pills. I am in agony.
Later.

They built a beautiful new garden.
You really need to click the pics to see the bigger versions. This stuff I found at Persimmon Grove for the indoors and out is really cool. You other sim addicts, if you don't already know about that site, go check it out. The stuff works with all versions of the game.
While Julie watered the cabbage and other plants in the garden, Keanu worked on that bike. He can't wait to restore it completely and ride it.
While Jenni plays Rachmaninov, the gardener tends to the new garden they built as well.
Meanwhile, The Zombies decided to have a baby.
Kim does such a good job taking care of their new son, Damian.
Rob pitches in to.
After all their love and tender care, baby Damian grew up and is now eating them out of house and home.
He loves his room and especially his toy airplane.
He met Aubrey, Kat and Orlandos daughter, and they became fast friends.
Rob taught Kim how to play and now they jam together all the time.
Everyone thinks Kim plays really good!
Who says rock stars don't make good dads?
Rob taught Damian to play too while Kim plays a game of pool on their new blood red table.
Everyone in Simasota seems to be doing mostly home improvements and having a good time.
Spending time with family and friends.
I slept like crap as usual during the week. Panic I am not going to wake up in time for Mark to go to school. That is what I was thinking. I was like, ok, it's 2:30 and if I fall asleep now, I need to be awake in 3 hours and 20 minutes to get Mark up.
It's insane I know.
The kid even has an alarm clock but I panic.
Oh well.
I got a bunch of crappy ass paperwork to fill out on saturday. You should see some of these questions. It's such basic shit and when I read through them I'm like, who the hell doesn't know this shit?
I'd scan some of it but I'd probably be breaking some law.
It's all government paperwork.
Stupid.
But on to the music.
Today I just felt like some Bowie.
This is one of my favorite songs.
Enjoy.
Major Tom Gone gone gone.
I didn't do anything at all. I was offline for about an hour and half and I come back and get a 403 forbidden on my own site.
Yeah, funny har har.
Not.
I swear, I touched nothing...lol

at most of the sims homes.
Everyone had some yard or land work done. Looks nice eh?
The Depps are getting along great! Especially since we got that new mirror that lets them see how silly they look when they act like assholes.
Both Johnny and ex-roommate enjoy a good game of chess.
They decided to go for a late night swim. Johnny is quite good at diving. Look at the form. Look at that grace.
We think Johnny has learned his lesson and now values the love of the one he's with. He keeps buying her expensive gifts to show he cares.
Later that evening, a ghost nearly scared the piss out of ex-roommate.
Over at the Reeves estate, Orlando got a little mad at Johnny for something he said to Kat.
Tsk tsk Johnny.
Orlando was so mad, that he demanded he and Kat leave at once.
Julie and Keanu have been working on fixing up an old bike. Julie just loves to get her hands dirty.
Time for bed in the new love bed they found at Ikea.
A little morning smoochie in front of the robot.
Over breakfast, they both agreed that a trip at this time was bad.
Keanu agrees. Now is not a good time. Becky has been getting some good shows right now and he really enjoys playing out.
Over at the Zombies, Kim and new friend ex-roommate rock out to Robs most excellent playing skills.
ex-roommate went home and the couple got ready for bed in their matching jammies.
The Zombies still need some indoor work done and the subject of children has been thrown around. They are not happy with the setup of the bedroom and may move some of the furniture.
This was a dull update as everyone had low skills but the super skill and mood mirror has changed all that so we are hoping that things get a little racy in town again.
Not just for kids.
I love gogurt.
Sure, I could buy regular yogurt but this is fun and easy to eat and the kids eat it to.
Yum.

Rob stopped by to say hello and chat with George for a few.
Then Rob told Jenni some jokes, a little on the dirty side, that had her in stitches.
George is one hell of a bathroom lounge singer.
They stopped to smooch before breakfast.
Meanwhile, over at the Depps, Johnny smooth talked ex-roommate and courted her like crazy. He is so lonely.
He was relentless and popped the question.
She said yes! Hopefully, he will love, honor and not peep at other people again.
The justice of the peace in Simasota sure is busy these days.
Will Johnny and ex-roommate be happy?
Will he continue peeping on other people?
Will Rob take his comedy act on the road?
Stay tuned...
You are the sensitive angel in a pit of angry fire today, Kat, so keep your guard up. Try not to be tempted or seduced by the rage around you. Be careful of people who seem to be motivated by fear. You will be much better off when you align yourself with those who act from a point of neutrality and self-confidence. Model your own behavior after the people you see as super heroes in your world.
Try not to be tempted or seduced by the rage around you. Be careful of people who seem to be motivated by fear.
This is so true.
I find that some people are really afraid of people and or things and I would get all specific and shit but don't feel comfortable doing so.
I do want to say to anyone out there who has any questions at all about my host move. Just to clear this up.
My new host and I were friends before the move.
I am paying for the space.
I am paying a whole shitload less for the space than I was before not because I got a discount for being friends but because the space is actually way cheaper.
And more of it to be honest.
Why not just ask me before you make assumptions?
I have always been honest about this kind of shit.
This new hosting plan is something I can afford and before, it really wasn't. To be honest.
I was scraping by every month just to keep my blog, my outlet, my voice, my ability to connect with people.
Why do I have a blog? Why do I keep my online service?
Because of my situation.
I am housebound. I have no real face to face human interaction with people.
I live alone with 2 kids and no adults to talk to except for my sister who works like 10-12 hours a day.
This is how I stay sane under my circumstances.
Jenni did do the work it took to make it viewable in smaller resolutions like I asked and I try to make it up to her as best I can. I don't have extra cash to send so I sent her a small gift off her wishlist. I get paid from Amazon and had some gift certs at another online store from some surveys that I do.
It's what I can do.
People are making a whole lot of assumptions about the move, still.
Why not ask me before you go and delete me from your blogrolls before getting the whole story?
I was actually pretty hurt when I found out that one person 'dumped' me over this situation.
You don't even know all that happened yet you assume you do.
Try not to be tempted by the rage around you.
That is really hard to do when it is my own rage eating at me.
It is rage because of hurt.
This isn't because of any one conversation or any one email. I have gotten several emails about this shit and have ignored it up until now.
Why gossip?
Why not just email me at mysinglemomlifeATmsn.com and say hey Kat, what the fuck is up with all this shit I have been hearing?
And I will tell you.
I have tried very hard in the 3 years that I have been blogging to be honest with you and I am not going to start lying now.
What would the point of that be?
I just hope this clears up some of the shit that has been getting back to me and if you still have any questions, go ahead and email me.
Sorry if this offends or puts anyones noses out of joint. But I just had to get this off my chest.
This is my blog, my voice, my space.
I don't hide my shit.
Look, dirty laundry flapping in the breeze.
*Sniiiiiff*

I was sleeping soundly, dreaming a bizarre dream. My favorite kind.
There was a girl having to catch fish, I don't know why, but it was interesting.
Then I hear 'mom'.
It sort of worked it's way into the dream and then I hear it again.
Then I woke up.
Sebastian was waking me up to tell me my sis called to see if I needed a ride and yes, I do but man, having that mom word work it's way in was weird.
I am heading out to pay a bill and do a little food shopping that the boys and I couldn't carry.
Will be back.

*pounds on her chest like a silverback gorilla*
I’m a techno-computer-person-something-wizz now!
*Loudly screams oo-wwwee-owee-oooohh and resembles Tarzan in an almost frightening way*
Oi, I’m so happy!
YES!
Ehm… OK.
But now I must control myself, before I go on a mad posting rampage ;-)
Oh my GOD, that was almost as good as sex! :-D
Thanx Kat :-)
Oh my goodness! I’m going to try this! EEK!
*blush*
Ehm… Hi everyone! *waves*
You probably don’t know me, but I’m Julie!
And I have a confesion to make :-)
I have never blogged or web-sited or anything in my life. I’m a virgin!
Ehm… In the blogging department, I mean ;-)
So please be careful with me :-)
I’m *going* to start a blog with my friend Zenny soon, but we need to practise. And under the safe wings of Mama-Kat, I’m going to try and post an entry now!
*bites fingernails*
I’m really nervous. I always hide in comment-sections. *big eyes*
What if I write something really stupid and everyone will laugh at me! *shivers*
Actually, another friend has posted some of my words on her ‘front-page’ a few times - See? I don’t even know what that’s called. It’s the page you see the moment you enter a site. That’s why I’m callling it ‘front’, LOL!
But! I just ‘send in my lines & pictures’ for the entry ‘Neo’s journey’, and she graciously placed them there. I didn’t have to do anything else. That was easy! If you want to read them, you have to head over to Krix.
Wait. I can’t mention Krix. Because that means I have to insert a link.
*uncontrolable wave of panic*
A link! I can’t link! I can’t even think! (Hee! That rhymes!)
*blink*
Actually, it might also be called a ‘ping’. I don’t know a thing about a ping, as well.
Anyway, she is at:
www.keanuvision.com
I'm going to write it down in 'typing' as well, in case I f*** up ;-)
*delted due to fucking up my margins*
If you see TWO links now, then it will be because my brain resembles a scrambled egg at the moment :-)
AND! If what I wrote above doesn’t look like a pinging-link… Ehm… Well go ahead. Laugh at me & call me a dummy. I won’t mind. *sniff*
*cough*
Oi! Was that you Kat? I thought I heard a cough just now :-)
I see… You’re trying to tell me that I shouldn’t ramble on, and just click ‘post’, right? ;-)
Ok!!! I’m boldly going for it!!! Wee-hee! Gosh, I’m all ashudder!!!! :-D
*click*
It's Nettie here....
Not much to say only that I have a new url, as I'm not at http://upsaid.com/keanutte anymore...

MSNBC - Tammy Faye says she has lung cancer and people are happy about it.
What is wrong with all of you?
Maybe she deserves it like some of you say but come on, you're happy about it?
Do you honestly wish such a horrible illness on anyone?
I find that in situations like this, you see the true nature of some people.
I have read how happy people are about this on several blogs today and frankly, it makes me sick.
I don't even know what else to say except that it makes me upset that anyone at all out there would wish cancer on anyone.
No one deserves cancer people.
No one deserves the kind of pain and suffering it brings.

Kim here. It's been a very hectic day. That's because I spent the latter part of the morning recovering from my near miss with the tool neighbor on the road, instead of getting ready to run my errands.
Thus I got a late start on everything. I ran out of deodorant, and had to wear Michael's Extreme Sport Power Caps. I bet I totally smell like a dude! This should get me some strange looks!
I was late getting to my place of employment to get my check. Then I had to get it cashed. Then I HAD to get more gas, because I dug for nickels and pennies for gas to get out there to begin with, and I was still on empty. Am I lucky, or what?
Then all that made me late picking the kids up from school. But it was all my own fault.
They go visit their bio dad here in about 15 minutes. When I get back, my husband and I are going to go see Dawn of the Dead. We're going to do our part to our part to reignite interest in zombie films in the hopes that studios will bankroll another Romero movie. I hope the remake lives up to the hype!
Gotta go!

Sadly, I have no Orlando goodies for you today, but maybe next week. =D
They paid in Buy.com gift certs which is still cool. Hey, $50 buck is $50 bucks right?
So I got the kids 2 movies that they have been dying to see.
Rocky and Rocky II.
I got them a bunch of batteries for their gameboys too.
I picked up Once Were Warriors for myself.
I absolutely love this movie.
Well, I ordered them last week and everything came today so the kids are watching the Rocky movies.
I almost feel funny letting them watch these movies.
They have such a legend behind them. It's like every guy on the planet has watched them and has fond memories of them.

He has been so lonely since Kim left him and they got divorced. He made too quick a move on ex-roommate and it scared her off a little.
He kept sweet talking her though.
He gave her one of his world famous back rubs.

Will Keanu be able to let Kat go and be the good husband he should be?
Will Orlando be able to control his wife?

That stands for very bad back day for those of you just tuning in.
I woke up stiff as a board and in excruciating pain so I laid on the couch until the kids left.
Then I took a muscle relaxer and went back to bed.
It has helped but not tons.
It is still throbbing and 'hot'.
I hate that.
It is so inflamed and I didn't do anything.
I think it's the weather to be honest.
It is getting very hot here during the day and then at night, like last night, it dropped down to the low 50's.

This is Simasota for those of you wondering what our city currently looks like in the rebuild process.
The upper left home belongs to the Blooms.
The upper right was just recently purchased by George Clooney.
The lower left home was just recently purchased by none other than Rob Zombie, the capricorn btw.
The middle gothic style home is currently owned by the falling out of love Depps and the last home, by the river, belongs to the Reeves.
Rob and George are still in the moving and remodel process so it will be awhile before you see the insides of their homes.

It only comes with so much stuff and there is tons of stuff on the web that is totally fucking cool.
Being the girly girl that I am sometimes, I have to go get stuff.
It's like shopping and in real life, I am broke as hell so this is my fix.
But then we have compatibility issues between all the expansion packs and even though some skinners say all their shit works with every version, they lie!
It's trial and error lately.
Oh! Cool outfits! Get them.
So I do and then whamo bammo crasho.
So I have to delete them and that is a pain in the ass.

They both think the yacht idea is a bit much.
Kim is very upset over the peeping issue.
Johnny tries to kiss and make up.
Kim went off to consult the head in the jar.
The head said to keep talking. To work this problem out but Johnny didn't want to talk anymore. He wanted to play pinball. Kim bitched at him until he stopped.
Johnny was still very upset about her taking the car. She told him she didn't think she loved him anymore.
He tried to get her to relax with a nice backrub.
That seemed to be working.
He danced with her like they used to.
She told him that she did love him and was sorry for being such a bitch. He apologized for the peeping.
They kissed and made up.

It's like it knows I have to get up early so it refuses to go to sleep.
I am tired today.
I will update the Sims later.
Later days.

It's finally quiet here.
Mikey went home around 5pm and the kids did their chores and we ate dinner and now are sleeping.
It's kind of nuts around here when I have 3 boys in the house.
That's why there really hasn't been many personal posts.
I am pretty busy when Mikey sleeps over.
Cooking, breaking up fights between Mark and Sebastian.
Picking shit up after them. Shopping for more food.
Boys can eat man.
Crap.
I am tired but working on some stuff.
I have some stuff to mail out.
ex-roommate. You'll be happy to know the letter came back. A neighbor up the street got it and they brought it to me so I will try sending it again.
Later days.
Nevermind. Figured it out. All I can say is whatever.

They have been thoroughly enjoying the view of the river and the beautiful scenery.
They made their way to the bedroom for a little mid-afternoon hanky panky and Johnny, the pervert watched the whole thing!
Keanu was very upset and yelled at him before getting out of bed.
After that, he changed into something to show off his biceps a little better.
Intimidating aren't they?
Kim stopped by to find out where her husband is.
Julie calls for maid service. She's not too thrilled about having to clean such a large home all by herself and that damn robot keeps breaking.
Kim and Keanu talk outside about law and marriage. Kim was not pleased to hear that Johnny had watched them make love but Keanu thought he should tell her and let her know they don't swing that way.
Kim headed home through the transporter to bitch at Johnny for upsetting the neighbors. They just moved to town and he has already started being a peeping tom!
Julie decided to change into something that shows off her boobs a bit better. This dress compliments her tits and her great legs.
Gratuitous ass shot.
Keanu practices the newest Becky tune.
While Julie de-stresses by painting.
Julie prepares a lovely gourmet dinner.
Over dinner, Julie informs him that she knows about the offer of a yacht if Kat won't see Keanu anymore.
He tries to talk his way out of it but can't believe Kat would take a yacht over him.
She was very upset about the news of the affair and his reaction to her letting him know she knew so he bought her that $5,000 rug she had been eying for sometime to cheer her up.
Before bed, they talk about things and promise to never go to bed mad at each other.
Will Kim stay mad at Johnny? How will he react after getting caught peering at Keanu and Julie?
Will Julie and Keanu be able to work through his affair with Kat?
Find out on the next episode of Simasota Stories.

Kim and Johnny love their new gothic with flare style home and Kim settles right in and starts reading her fave book in her antique chair.
Kat stops over to meet the neighbors and tells Kim about the yacht she's hoping to get.
Kim is just crazy about her stone staircase.
They are so in love.
They didn't seem to mind that Orlando was in the room.
Keanu and Julie also got to move in to their mixture of modern and classic home.
They talked about his bass and she said that yes, he could set up his equipment in the playroom upstairs.
Kissy kissy grab ass.
Julie really likes the trippy art she found for the bathrooms.
It seems that Johnny and Keanu both have a thing for comfy clothes.
So far, everyone is pleased with the Simasota Construction company and is grateful their homes were built so quickly after that horrible Tsunami.
Kim and Johnny promise to put fresh flowers on the graves of the lives that were lost seeing as they built their home near the cemetery.
Kim has even been practicing her séance skills so she can talk to the dead.

Johnny and Kim stand on the sidewalk and watch as construction of their new home continues.
The new home, almost complete.
Yes, that is a graveyard.
Kim and Johnny did not want the graves removed because disturbing the dead is bad.
*There were some very corrupt articles of clothing (skins) that were causing massive game crashes but thanks to skincheck and thingcheck, the problems were found and all is well in Simasota again.
There was a massive natural disaster in Simasota today and many of the local residents perished when a Tsunami that the weather forecasters never saw coming, came crashing into the city and wiped out all their homes and many residents lives were lost.
The surviving residents, Kat, Orlando and their daughter Aubrey, Keanu and Julie, and new residents, Kim and Johnny, who had just moved into the the city, are planning on a memorial site to remember the lives of those lost.
Bruce, his son Adrian, Chloe and her husband Aaron, Jennifer and Brad, Stacey, Linda, Joshua, Kona, Antonio, George and Zoe.
Their presence will be greatly missed.

So, when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, if you go for all these fairy tales, that "evil" woman convinced the man to eat the apple, but the apple came from the Tree of Knowledge. And the punishment that was then handed down, the woman gets to bleed and the guy's got to go to work, is the result of a man desiring, because his woman suggested that it would be a good idea, that he get all the knowledge that was supposedly the property and domain of God. So, that right away sets up Christianity as an anti-intellectual religion. You never want to be that smart. If you're a woman, it's going to be running down your leg, and if you're a guy, you're going to be in the salt mines for the rest of your life. So, just be a dumb fuck and you'll all go to heaven. That's the subtext of Christianity.

Yeah, I said delicates.
I didn't think you'd want me to say underwear and bras.
I threw away 3 bras that I have owned forever and I haven't worn in years because my boobs are bigger.
I hung onto them because, well, I don't really know why.
9 pairs of undies that were just worn out, socks with no mates, holey nylons, trouser socks.
I hate trouser socks.
It's like half nylons and half sock and just icky feeling especially that band at the top so they don't fall down.
I need to do my closet.
Oh god. The closet is a nightmare.
I hate even opening it.
Nothing falls out but there is so much crap in there.
Not today.
No, not today.

They live here, in this palatial estate. With all the best amenities. It has 9 bathrooms, 2 large bedrooms, a game and music room, pool table and large swimming pool.
Their daughter, Aubrey, is quite the swimmer. She's the captain of her school team.
The family enjoys a talkative breakfast together.
Kat and Orlando find this back bathroom to be the most private for mid day smooches seeing as the maid rarely checks this one. She was fired later that day.
They spent saturday afternoon having a family sing along in the yard.
Aubrey found mom and dads singing hysterical.
Orlando is such a loving family man.
Even though they have been married for many wonderful years, Orlando is always learning new ways to make Kat happy.
Kat, having free reign of Orlando's movie earnings, is quite the fashion maven. She could give Lionel Ritchie's soon to be ex a run for her money.
Keanu, a very attractive movie star himself who lives in the city, stops by for dinner often. Orlando suspects ulterior motives and makes sure his wife is aware of his affections.
Orlando couldn't have been more correct in his assumption.
So he has a man to man talk over a game of pool and talks of the peace he has with his family.
Keanu is not concerned with peace so Orlando reminds him they are married. By law.
A marriage certificate doesn't mean anything when it's love Keanu told him.
Orlando has had just about enough of Keanus advances on his wife.
He let him know with a right hook to the jaw.
Keanu left vowing to return for his true love.
After that nasty incident was over, he searched for a beer.
He took her in the bathroom so their daughter wouldn't hear them argue. He offered to buy her a new beamer if she would forget Keanu.
She doesn't need a new car but a yacht would be nice she told him.

After the deaths of her husband and daughter, Lydia finally remarried and hoped for a bright future.
They gave birth to their own child, a son!
But she continued to mourn.
She called friends but they just talked about their vacation to Hawaii.
She called another friend who could only talk about her recent break in.
She tried talking to Bruce over dinner but he just didn't understand her grief.
She finally got some much needed rest.
Some friends came over but they just gabbed about whatever. No one listened.
Jennifer could feel the tension and she didn't know what to do.
Kat left. It was just too much to deal with.
Orlando, also feeling awful but not sure how to handle it, left as well.
She tried hard to be a loving wife and mother for so long.
A few years had passed and then one night, after kissing her son and tucking him in...
She took one last swim in the family pool and then died from her grief and despair and utter loneliness.
Bruce and their son, Adrian, will find a way to go on somehow.
Stay tuned for future episodes of Simasota Stories. The ongoing saga of the life and times of it's residents.

My sister just picked up both boys and took them to the farm this morning.
Yay sis!
They will be so tired tonight.
Yay me!
Haha.
They have a 3 day weekend due to a professional day.
Our spring break begins on the 29th.
I don't see why professional days can't happen on the first monday of spring break.
I mean, why do the kids have to miss a day of school when they are already going to miss a week and a half just a week and a half later?
Their going to the farm will give me some much needed time and quiet to get some photo work done without being pestered to death.
They got in a fight yesterday and nearly killed each other.
Not really, but they were huffing and puffing and all red faced when they came in.

No bill collectors called.
No one got hurt.
No one failed a class.
No cats escaped or pissed on anything.
Nothing broke.
I am saddened by the loss of life and angered that terrorists harmed more innocent people somewhere in the world.
We are not the only country that has this problem yet our media treats these other countries as though their attacks are not as important as ours.
That makes me very sad.
When 9-11 happened, the whole world was with us.
We spent 5 minutes talking about this on the morning, noon and evening news.
We wonder why no one helps us when we ask for world support.
We show no sympathy or respect for anyone.

Lydia and her husband Dave were having some problems.
They were fighting and their social skills were way below where they should have been.
They kissed and made up and kissed some more.
Then the phone rang.
They were asked to adopt a beautiful baby girl.
Lydia thought this was the answer to her marital problems.
A child can bring such joy to a family.
So they did and they raised her and gave her a huge beautiful room with lots of toys and a comfy bed and they named her Anya.
Dave cooked burgers on the grill to celebrate his daughters growing up.
He was still a bit sad, in the red you could say.
He ate one and died.
Then Anya ate one and died.
By the time Lydia woke up, it was too late to plea with the reaper.
All she has now are headstones in the backyard.
She wasn't quite sure how they died.
She suspected mad cow from the leftover burgers that were on the counter so she invited Joshua, a neighborhood friend, over for lunch.
He ate one.
He immediately became ill.
He grasped for his head from the pain.
He died on her kitchen floor.
She pleaded with the grim reaper for the life of her friend.
She won a game of rock, paper, scissors and her friend would live.
With one condition.
He is now a zombie. His wife, Stacey, is going to kill her she thought!
Joshua went home and we all feared the worst.
But surprise, surprise, Stacey's got a thing for dead guys.
Lydia threw out the evil grill and vowed to never eat meat again.
She lost her love, her beautiful daughter, and Joshua will never be the same again all because of tainted meat.

The AFA, the same group who a few months ago wanted to know if you support gay marriage, has a new poll up about who you are voting for for president. Go here, the link it self dies I guess so copy and paste it in your browser. http://www.onlinepolls.net/pollv1/default.aspx?pid=10 to vote.
They have added a new feature, a small code you must enter after you vote, because after the gay marriage poll they had, they simply could not believe that that many people wanted gay marriage. They think it was a script or hack that put through that many positive votes.
No, the people are not as bigoted or hateful as you and the pres AFA.
So go vote, show them that you really do exist and it's not a script. Tell the AFA who you are voting for.

They also want to you to boycott Disney and Kmart and one of my fave places, Movie Gallery. I still call it Video Library but it is movie gallery. It's where I buy all my cheap for a dollar sometimes second hand movies.
They want me to boycott them because they rent, oh what is that phrase they used, videos of despicable sex acts.
That's right, they have a porn section just like most video stores I know. Maybe not Ballbuster but who really rents there anymore anyway? They suck.
I will not boycott Disney, Kmart and especially, my beloved Movie Gallery.
There was one section that intrigued me, "Read articles of corporate giants who have pulled their association with Movie Gallery, along with warnings from health officials."
So I clicked the link and what do you know? There were no articles from any health officials warning me about the dangers of porn.
It's just another thing they do to make you feel bad for looking at porn.
They may not like it. They don't have to like it. It is behind a wall and in a different section at my Movie Gallery. If they don't like it and don't want to see it, don't go behind the wall. It is very simple people. If you don't like something, don't do it but don't tell me and the rest of the world I can't do it.
I have been drinking a lot of water lately and I have rediscovered why I hate water so much.
It makes me feel 'hollow'.
Do you know what I mean?
My body feels empty and light and normally, if I were trying to lose a ton of weight and I enjoyed feeling like that, I wouldn't care.
Once upon a time, I thrived on feeling empty.
The more hollow I felt, the more weight I lost and the more I wanted to feel hollow.
I don't like it now.
I hate this feeling.
It makes me feel out of sync.
I get a lot of shit for drinking diet soda.

It has been 10 years since my divorce from the boys father.
10 years folks.
10 years of fighting to get child support.
10 years of trying to get them to take action on his case.
Well, after 10 years of trying to force him to pay, they took away his drivers license.
Aren't you thrilled?
I know I am.
I mean, what the fucking hell took so long?
10 fucking years State of Maine!
What is your deal?
In the 10 years that they have been piddling around trying to get him to pay and trying to figure out ways to make him pay, this option, of license revocation has always been there. Gov. Angus King put it into play 9 years ago.
How do I know?
Because I was one of 5 moms selected to go to meet him and talk to him about child support enforcement laws.
This was an idea he and I talked about. Taking away licenses for driving, fishing, hunting etc.
They just took it away on March 4, 2004.
The divorce went final on February 2, 1994.
That is 10 years of waiting for them to go after him and make him pay.
10 years of waiting for them to do something.
Do I think this will have an impact on him?
Do I think loss of driving will somehow wake him up and make him pay his child support?
No.
No I don't.
This action, along with any other actions, should have been done years ago.
You can't just let guys like my ex get off scott free for 10 fucking years and suddenly expect them to start paying cuz you took away their license.
No, they will drive anyway or get other people to drive. They have ways around paying in case you didn't notice.

Leaving 'Alice in Wonderland' aside, look closely at 'Through the Looking
Glass' - particularly 'The Walrus and the Carpenter' poem: what's the
metaphorical meaning?
NUN
I wasn't aware there was one.
LOKI
Oh, but there is - it colorfully details the sham that is organized
religion. The Walrus - with his girth and good-nature - obviously refers to
either the Buddha, or - with his tusks - the lovable Hindu elephant god,
Lord Ganesha. This takes care of the Eastern religions. The Carpenter is an
obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was purportedly raised the son of a
carpenter. He represents the Western religions. And in the poem. what do
they do? They dupe all the oysters into following them. Then. when the
oysters collective guard is down. the Walrus and the Carpenter shuck and
devour the helpless creatures, en masse. I don't know what that says to
you, but to me it says that following faiths based on these mythological
figures insures the destruction of one's inner-being.

A steady stream of TRAVELERS, exiting the gate, meeting loved-ones, family.

Organized religion destroys who we are or who we can be by inhibiting our
actions and decisions out of fear of an intangible parent-figure who shakes
a finger at us from thousands of years ago and says "No, no!"

The Apostle Paul put it this way in today’s reading from Ephesians: "In the past you were spiritually dead because of your disobedience and sins."
Spiritually dead because of my disobedience and sins?
Ok, let's talk about that.
I am not a spiritual person, this is true but I am not dead inside.
Who is it exactly I am supposed to be obeying and what sins have I committed?
I know that I am supposed to obey the law, which I do and I obeyed my parents because that is what you do when you are a kid and when I was young and went to church,
I obeyed the word of God as it was told to me.
I feared big fish swallowing me if I argued with my sister. I feared walking along and getting spoken to by a burning bush.
I feared lots of things.
One is a lack of closeness to God. Jesus, who had a very close relationship with God, did not understand that reality until he was crucified. But as he suffered the death penalty for sin, he didn't feel God’s presence and he cried out, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned men?" There’s a kind of spiritual death in us as well, when we ask, "Why, God, did you let this happen?"
In most Christians beliefs, they believe he was the son of God. I believe that Jesus was just a man like you and me who was a little misguided, maybe even "crazy". He had a mother and father but chose to believe that he was the son of something unknown up in the sky. He trashed a church during a celebration. He had followers. They captured him when they could and punished him for being a criminal. He was crucified in the style of death penalty they used at the time. Maybe that is the reason that no one answered him when he called out eh? There wasn't anything really up there.
Another is a lack of integrity and a lack of commitment to God’s ideals. In Ephesians 4:18-19, Paul says: "People . . . are against God. They don’t care about right and wrong. . . Their lives are full of impurity and greed." When people exhibit a lackadaisical attitude about worshiping on the Sabbath or speak disrespectfully about people in positions of authority or think cheating is OK because everyone does it, it’s a sure indication of spiritual dead spots in their lives."
Do you know what my ideals are? have you been in my home?
I live by rules that are a good way to treat all human beings not because I fear being punished. I teach my kids not to lie, cheat, steal, talk badly about others etc etc etc. Just because I am an atheist, does not mean I live my life all lackadaisically. Oh hey! Look! Food in the store, I'm an atheist. I guess I'll steal it. Oh hey! Look, my neighbors cute husband, I guess I'll sleep with him.
Please. Give me a break.
Still another is a lack of contentment and hope. Listen to the words of Job, after he had lost his herds, his family, and his health: "Cursed be the day of my birth, and cursed be the night I was conceived . . .Why is life given to those who have no future? . . . I hate my life." When a person always sees a glass as half empty or always points out what’s wrong with the world or quits trying when problems or challenges seem too difficult, you can bet that there’s a spiritual cancer at work in his or her life."
Anyone who knows me, knows the physical problems that plague me and don't even say if I just turned to God, it would all be well. That's bullshit and you know it. It takes medical doctors with years of knowledge to fix medical problems.
I am not un-content in my life even with everything I have that is not perfect. I am a single mother, I have a back problem that causes pain, I have financial problems. Are these things because I have no faith, no hope and no trust in God? No. They are because I was born with some medical problems, I divorced their abusive father and I have been unable to work for a year.
My glass is always full.
I have the best friends anyone could ask for.
I have great kids.
I have a great landman who works with me.
I have great parents.
I am content with the way my life is right now, right this minute. Today is a good day.
Sometimes there is a lack of self-esteem. When people have a low sense of self-worth, because they were never praised when they were young, or they feel people and God could never forgive them for something they’ve done, it’s evidence that something has died or is dying inside them."
My self esteem is really good thank you very much. I was praised much as a child.
Finally, there may be a lack of love and mercy. How many people in Jesus’ day wanted to stone to death the woman who had committed adultery or have nothing to do with Zacchaeus, the hated-tax collector. When there is no room in our hearts to forgive others in the same way we want God and others to forgive us, then it’s a sign that we are slowly dying from a spiritual hardening of the heart."
I have much love to give and I do give it. I forgive those when my heart is ready to forgive them.
I don't really truly hate anyone even though I say I hate my ex-husband. It's his lack of commitment to his children which plagues me. I cannot change him but it upsets me. It's not a lack of love or mercy.
My oldest and I have been doing a lot of talking lately and much to my sons surprise, he discovered that his dad was the only man I ever, really, truly loved. The beatings changed those feelings but I honestly, have never felt another love so strong as what I had with him.
What are the spiritual dead spots in your life?
• Is it a sadness that won’t go away because of bad health or a relationship that has ended?
• Is it an addiction or a deeply felt grudge that you’re not willing to give up?
• Is it the tendency to worry excessively or a tendency to always complain?
I think I have already answered these above. I don't have any.
LIFE
The message of JOHN 3:16 and today’s reading from Ephesians is that God wants to remove the dead spots and give us something that will make us feel "alive" again. Listen to them again:
"For God so loved the world – Rollen Stewart, you, and me – that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him, will not perish – will no longer be full of dead spots – but will have a new lease on life."
"But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much that even while we were spiritually dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead."
This is one of the many things that disturb me about people who preach. Yes, this sermon was about Rollen in the beginning, but to change the words to fit what they want to say, bothers me to no end. Here we are more than halfway through the sermon and they think I won't be able to grasp the message.
Being scientific, let's take this apart shall we?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but will have a new lease on life.
How do I know that this was Gods son? Where is your proof? You scientific proof that Jesus, the man, was the son of a ghost basically? Faith that he was is not a good enough answer thank you.
I take the second part of this, he will not perish but have new life to mean, that they will live forever in the house of god when the body dies and live happily on earth until then.
As I was growing up, I went to church, I mentioned this right?
I went and had to sit in the front 3 rows like all the children so that we heard the messages and paid attention.
My parents were and still are heavily involved in the same Church to this day. They knew many parishioners and we all knew each other.
I know many older parishioners who died. I know the cancers they suffered, the diseases that ravaged their bodies and all the while they kept their faith strong and prayed for mercy and healing. None came for some.
I will use my own families experience as an example. Mom, dad I know how you feel but please, don't be angry, just listen ok? You don't have to agree, just listen.
My dad was sick. He had basal cell carcinoma and when he went to have it removed, a doctor made an error and medications were not taken off before the surgery and blood started to pool in his body cavity.
For months and months he lost weight and was very ill. They didn't know why. They did tests and more tests and xrays etc. Finally, one test spotted it and a doctor gave him a new medication that fixed the problem. I do believe there may have even been another surgery in there. I can't really recall, it's been a few years now.
But during all this time, my family prayed and the congregation prayed for a "miracle" to save his life.
It was not a miracle that saved him. It was science. It was a sonogram or xray or ultrasound that spotted the mass and a surgeon who removed it and a scientist who invented a brand new drug to clear up the infection and the doctor who was wise enough and daring enough to try it on my father. It was not a miracle, but science that saved him. My mother says it was god who planted the ideas for the doctors to try the new drug. I say it was knowledge after years and years of study and hands on practice with other sick individuals that makes these doctors and scientists even smarter. Not miracles, not silent whispers, but science and knowledge.
Christ raised from the dead? Yeah. I don't think so. I think people were fanatical and hallucinated after days of not eating or sleeping but constant weeping. I know I see shit when I haven't slept for a few days. try it. Stay awake and barely eat for a few days and you too can have visions. As for the body being gone? Have you heard of grave robbers? There is no miraculous excuse for a human body to disappear. Remember, only the spirit rises to be with God in heaven. You can't have it both ways. If you say the body dies and the spirit rises, then that is how it is. You can't take his body and his spirit after three days. The body was stolen.
First, we are strengthened by God’s presence and the promise of a reunion with Him in heaven."
No, I am not. I get nothing from it at all.
Second, selfishness will give way to godliness. In 2 Corinthians, it says: "Jesus died for everyone so that we who receive his new life will no longer live to please ourselves. Instead, we will live to please Christ."
I do not do things to please myself. I rarely do anything for myself. My kids come first and foremost. The last time I bought myself new underwear was over a year ago. Why would I want to please a dead guy? What is up with that kind of thinking? He's dead. Please a dead guy who is dead. Uh, no. He's dead.
Third, pessimism and self-pity are replaced by an attitude of hopefulness and compassion. Look at Job. After complaining, Job’s attitude changes. He says: "I know that my redeemer lives. . . and after my body has decayed, . . . I will see God." Peter writes: "Because God raised Jesus from the dead, your hope can be placed confidently in God . . . So see to it that you really do love each other."
I have some self pity from time to time, we all do. I have hope and compassion but not because your god says I should. Like I said above, I don't believe he rose from the dead, I don't believe that he is a redeemer. I don't believe that I will see God. My body is not going to decay. That's grody and it takes up to much land. I am going to be cremated and tossed from the highest roller coaster in the world by my kids. They promised.
What qualities, that God offers through the gift of eternal life, do you need in your life right now?
• Is it an increased sense of worth or a clearer sense of purpose?
• Is it a renewed sense of humor or a desire to be a person of greater integrity?
• Is it a greater amount of patience or a deeper sense of inner peace?
Gift of eternal life? Bwahahaha. Oops, sorry about that. This stuff cracks me up sometimes.
My sense of worth is good thank you. I have a great sense of humor and I would have to say that my integrity is very good. I have patience. Boy, do I have patience. I have been waiting for a year to be treated for my back. Patience is my middle name baby. Ohm. Ohm. Yeah, my inner peace is good too.
In conclusion, I live my life the same as you Christians who would condemn me for not believing in God. I live a good, happy life. I live with morals and ethics and treat my fellow man as they want to be treated. I do it out of kindness and love and not because I fear whales or punishment or because I want to live behind some pearly gates. I live this way because it is how I want to be treated.
I don't believe that we need a set of codes to live by. I believe people can and will do the right thing if they choose. It's not Satan that pushes people to do wrong, it is their own desire to do wrong. I desired drugs and alcohol and stole money from my parents to do it. It was not Satan who drove me to do the things I have done in my life, it was me. I made choices, they were choices that I had to make and live through in order to grow and become who I am today.
No God saved me and helped me rise above my drug addiction. It was me. I went to rehab and got myself clean. I went to meetings and kept myself clean and yeah, they prayed at the end of meetings. I didn't because it was not God that pulled me from the depths of my addiction, it was me. I did it. I made myself want a better life, I made myself get clean and stay clean.
Human strength is overlooked. People look outside of themselves to God for strength when it is inside of them. It has always been inside of them but because they fear their own minds and their own strengths, they look to God to make decisions for them and give them courage to rise above and get through tough times.
I have always thought, and please don't take offense, that people who put so much faith in God and pray for strength and courage, must be weak inside. That they do not trust themselves. That it is easier to say that God will see you through then to get up off your ass and do it for yourself.
When I asked for help from the web community, people came and helped me. Perhaps some did it out of christian kindness but I think that people helped because if it was them, they would want someone to help them when they asked.
People ask God for all kinds of things, let me ace this test god, or let my doggie come home god or if you do this for me god, I'll never ask anything from you again and then they ace the test or their dog comes home and they swear to be better people.
You aced the test because you studied. Your dog came home because that is where the food is.
Put a little faith in yourself.
I am just in a touchy mood today and allowed myself to be momentarily upset by something.
It's done, it's over.
Back on to better things and people who mean something to me.
Thanks for understanding.
Love you all much.
Later days.

Today is stormy, "not gray and rainy." The windy is fresh, clean, strong and wild. Tiles on the roof rattle and trees bed and shimmy in the wind. I love it! Sporadic busts of sunlight brighten the day in-between soft and hard showers. The storm clouds have been the most wonderful violet. I love them when they are that dark swirly purple! I am hoping for some lightening and thunder too before the day (evening) is done. I hope to hear the mimic sounds of Greek gods walking on earth and see the electric roots to the tree of life stretch out and touch ground. Thunderstorms are fun! Plain Jane Rain isn't.
Spring Storm send me strength.
Electric fingers divide violet sky...
Vast footsteps echo.

Extra by request. One night in Bangkok. Yeah, you missed this one too.
Man, Shell put a boatload of awesome 80's and some early 90's stuff on one of the cds she made me. Holy crap.
P.S. Shell, One Night In Bangkok was actually done by Murray Head.
Yes, I know I'm a dork for knowing that.

Shell sent me some stuffs for my bday and she managed to fit almost 8 hours of tunes on a 700MB/80MIN cd.
Speak woman and tell me how the hell you did that. *Nevermind* I figured it out. Duh.
That is what I get for not reading the manual.
I like to just open shit up and play with it. Screw learning how. ;)
I have tried to do more than 80 minutes and if a cd burner could yell at you, it would have called me a few choice names for trying to do 82 minutes.
You need to tell me.
But damn, you got some great shit on there.
Thank you!!
And she also sent this
And before you even ask, I am a huge Metallica fan. I must have seen them about 20 times. I've hitchhiked through snow and rain and stood in mud up to my knees to see them at Monsters of Rock eh Shell? ;)
This is a fucking heavy clock too let me tell ya.
You could seriously injure a person with it.
Or a toe.
I shall keep it away from my feet seeing as how accident prone I am.
Yeah, I did something stupid again this morning and almost nearly killed a cat by stepping on it, losing my balance and yanking something.
Whatever.
It's what happens when you have no sleep.

Cats need to learn to stay out of my way is all.
Thanks for the Cd's and the shirt and the clock girl.

You're Element is Night. You're a loner who is very
creative but never show your work to anyone.
You may smile a little but sadness or
loneliness surround you and other can feel it
when they're near you. You have a dark or
unusual beauty that makes you mysterious and
you probably have a lot of secrets that you've
never told anyone. You're beauty is intriging
and unorthidox but the real thing that makes
you special is your eyes. Something in them

I went to bed immediately after Kingdom Hospital and here it is, almost 4 am and I am still wide awake.
I did not sleep yesterday.
I was in more or less a state of limbo all day.
Not awake but not asleep.
I hate it when my body does this.
I get like this I have noticed a at least once every 2-3 months and stay screwed up for a about a week.

I had washed my little foreman grill earlier and then I just plugged it in because I am making the kids burgers for dinner and gave myself one hell of an electrocution.
Ouch.
My right arm is a bit shaky now.
My hair stood on end.
The kids are all like yo, mom, what is happening?
The lights flickered.
That was fun.
But I don't want to do it again.
This is the second time I have shocked myself in my lifetime.
The first time was like 1996 when I tried to 'save' the air conditioner from falling out a window on the second floor.
I grabbed the cord.
It was plugged in.
I got myself so bad that time, I had burn marks on my chest and arms from where the juice went in my right arm, across my chest and out my left finger tips.
The air conditioner fell and went boom.
Ok.
Back to making dinner now.

Took a shower, feel much better. I am going to try the Zanaflex before bed tonight and see if that helps.
The mail just arrived and in it was Probot from the lovely Rhonda!

Never added it to my wish list but kept thinking about it.
Rhonda is psychic me thinks.

I have heard such great things about it.
Thanks you sneaky monkey! Her site is still down but should be back up soon.

Virgin Mary Image Vandalized - from TBO.com
Give me a break Channel 8. This is not a huge news story.
This is an act of vandalism against a water stain that is being heralded as a message sent from God.
Since 1996, this water stain has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors.
The stain was created by water sprinklers.
People believe that the water stain, in the form of "Mary" by some viewers, was a message from God.
Click this pic for info on the shrine in Clearwater.
People have been flocking to the building all day to mourn the loss of a water stain.
This image is clickable.
People have the right to believe whatever they want but I am saddened that this was the top story on the news this evening.
A 79 year old woman was attacked on the college campus in Lakeland.
That story placed second.
Water stains are much more important than a human being beaten and robbed I guess.
Hrmph.

I had something I needed to do but my back decided halfway up the street that that was a very bad idea.
I basically crawled back home.

So anyway, I'm laying down and trying to give the pain meds a chance to work and knowing that it will put me to sleep when there is a knock on the door.

Ok. So that was mean and normally I am much more polite about it all but in the 5 years I have lived in this house, they have never come to my home.
At the bus stop, I am a prisoner of circumstance and timing.
In my home, I don't want that shit.
The weather is getting nicer and in my opinion, with movies like the Passion and GWs recent religious pushes, they feel they have a right to come to my home.
No.
Not today.
Not ever.
I really am usually much nicer to them and say no thank you and please don't come back but today, I just snapped.
I have never in all my years of being a non-believer, just walked up to someone at a bus stop or their home, and started talking to them about why I don't believe and how I think they shouldn't either.
I know the bible says for them to spread the message but not in my home.
They have no right to come to my home and tell me I'm a sinner on my own fucking property.
I don't ask for it.
I stay to myself.
At the bus stop, I have headphones on, I'm not bugging anyone but they seem to think it is ok to tap me on the shoulder and interrupt me from my peaceful mood and deep thoughts to tell me that I need to be saved.
I don't know where I'm going with this but I just don't like it.
